Updated the photo after adding a blue wash to the background of the painting.

Pomegranate, 8x10", SOLD

Painting smaller paintings now. This was painted on Masonite board. I think I did a good job not overworking it. Nice texture and interesting color pallet.

Courage, Kitten, 30x40", SOLD

Think of this one as is just another dive into the deep depths of creative exploration. This is me trying out a new thing. Let me know what you think.

ethereal trees

Posted on September 17, 2012 by Wess Foreman

Ethereal Trees, 24x24", SOLDThis one hung around my studio for weeks. I'd make little changes to it here and there, never quite satisfied with it. It once was a different painting entirely in fact---perhaps the canvas was cursed---at any rate, the curse was lifted and I finally got it in shape and I'm happy with the results.

Lake Arthur, LIttle Wharf, 44.5x47", $1400

Continuing my large-painting misadventures, I submit this photo of my latest: a tranquil early morning scene of Canadian geese on Lake Arthur. Measuring in at just under four feet square, this is one of my largest paintings. I think I'll be focusing on smaller canvases now---need to balance everything out. As always, feel free to leave a comment. Thanks for giving it a look!

I painted this little painting four months ago, intending to post the process as well. Better late than never--here's the process.

captive audience #16

Posted on September 11, 2012 by Wess Foreman

Captive Audience #16, 24x30", $350

This is another of my Captive Audience series---listed as number sixteen, though I've surely done more than that amount to-date. It's a series I frequently consider dropping from my repertoire partly because I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. But there are things about the series which I deeply enjoy, starting with the sheer fun I have in creating these paintings but going well beyond that---in fact there is something deeper going on, something I've yet to figure out.

Update on 2012-09-17 23:35 by wessf

This one is no more. Some sort of unstoppable ink from a lower layer of paint seeped through to the top layer after the final gloss varnish was added, causing weird staining to appear. First time I've seen that.
